"Aromas of violet, iris, baking spice and woodland berries form the enticing nose. It's full-bodied and firmly structured, featuring crushed raspberry, ripe Morello cherry, licorice and tobacco alongside tightly knit, close-grained tannins and surprising acidity for the scorching vintage.

"Enticing nose of red berries, creamy spice and flowers, following through to a medium-full palate with quite an intense fruit drive, mellowed by fine tannins and the same, silky texture that the nose suggested."

Wine & Spirits 91
"Notes of lavender and mint accent flavors of red and dark cherry in this concentrated yet balanced wine. The tannins feel cool and polished, allowing that generous, ripe red fruit full expression."

Winemaker Notes
"The color of the Casa E. di Mirafiore Barolo is garnet-red with ruby highlights that take on a slightly orange tone over time. It has a clear-cut, intense nose with overtones of vanilla, spices, withered roses and underbrush. The taste is dry, but soft, full-bodied, velvety and well-balanced, and is very long-lasting."
About Mirafiore
The winery was founded in the 1870s by King Vittorio Emanuel II of Savoy and named for his son (with Countess Bela Rosin), Emanuele, Count of Mirafiore within the Fontanafredda village in Serralunga d'Alba. The name was lost from the estate in the 1940s and passed through several owners until Oscar Farinetti bought the Mirafiore name once again. The wines of Casa E. di Mirafiore are made exclusively from the traditional varieties of the Langhe.

Respected winemaker Danilo Drocco follows traditional Piemontese vinification practices including long maceration and aging in large oak casks. The essence of Casa E. di Mirafiore comes to life at the estate in the Fondazione E. di Mirafiore, which includes a restaurant, library, and theater where the winery hosts poetry, music, and speaking events.
